Kidney disease (CKD) tracking: hydration, appetite, and weight monitoring
CKD is a slow, steady process. Small changes in weight, thirst, or appetite are meaningful. Felova helps you capture those changes so you and your vet can respond early.
What to monitor
- Daily water intake (estimate if needed)
- Appetite and food acceptance
- Weight measurements (consistent scale/time)
- Urine changes, vomiting, or lethargy
- Medication schedules and any side effects
Practical logging tips
Weigh your pet weekly when possible. Note appetite before and after meals. Small, regular entries create a trend line that matters more than perfect daily notes.
How Felova helps
- Weight trends — spot gradual loss early.
- Hydration journal — notice increasing thirst or reduced intake.
- Vet-ready reports — share consistent measurements and recent lab dates.
Prepare consistent measurements and recent lab dates to share with your vet for better long term planning.

Common questions
How often should I weigh my pet?
Weekly is ideal for stable monitoring; more often if your vet recommends it. Use the same scale and similar time of day for consistency.
